== Set up on Local Billing's Website ==
 
 
 
Before you can begin configuring Local Billing as a [[Ct#Biller|biller]] in [[NATS4]], you must first register a merchant account with them. This can be done through their website at http://www.localbilling.com or http://www.vendoservices.com/.
 
 
 
When registering with Local Billing/Vendo, please let them know that you're working with [[NATS]], so that they can better help you.
 
 
 
After Local Billing sets up your sites, they give you a document containing all the information you need to set up Local Billing in NATS. It should contain your E-Mail, Merchant I.D., and Shared Secret. This information is currently in part A of your Local Billing setup document.  They should also give you a Site I.D. code for each of your sites, and an identifier, upgrade identifier, and package for each of your join options in Part E of your Local Billing set up document.
 
 
 
== Set up Local Billing in NATS ==
 
'''Note: Localbilling will be listed as "Vendo" on [[NATS]] version 4.1.3 or later. If you cannot locate Localbilling in the [[NATS4 Billers Admin|Billers Admin]], try looking for Vendo.'''
 
 
 
=== Billers Admin ===
 
 
 
To begin setting up Local Billing as a [[Ct#Biller|biller]] in [[NATS]], go to the [[NATS4 Billers Admin|Billers Admin]]. Scroll down to the "Biller" drop-down menu, select Local Billing (or Vendo), and click "Add."
 
 
 
'''Note:''' If you don't see Local Billing or Vendo as a [[Ct#Biller|biller]] in [[NATS4]], [https://clients.toomuchmedia.com put in a support ticket], as you may need an updated version of [[NATS]].
 
 
 
When prompted, fill in the E-Mail, Merchant ID, and Shared Secret that were provided to you by Local Billing/Vendo under the "Account Info" section. If you were not provided with this information, please contact your [[Ct#Biller|biller]] to receive it.
 
 
 
=== Sites Admin ===
 
 
 
'''Note: All of the ''LOCALB'' settings described here will be listed as ''VENDO'' on [[NATS]] version 4.1.3 or later. If you cannot locate the ''LOCALB'' settings here, try looking for the ''VENDO'' settings.'''
 
 
 
Next, go to the [[NATS4 Sites Admin|Sites Admin]], create or edit a [[Ct#Tour|tour]], and scroll down to the "Biller Details" section. Enter your Local Billing Site ID in the "LOCALB Site Id" field, choose whether you wish to enable any of the optional Local Billing features, and click Save.
 
 
 
Once you have done this, scroll down to the section labeled "Join Options for this Tour" and click the "Edit Option Details for this tour" icon that corresponds to the [[Ct#Join Option|join option]] you wish to use. In the "Biller Codes" section on the next page, locate the "LOCALB" or "VENDO" settings. Enter your Local Billing Identifier, Upgrade Identifier, and Package. If you did not receive this information, please contact Local Billing.
 
 
 
Once you have configured these steps, save your [[Ct#Join Option|join option]] details. Local Billing/Vendo will now be configured for basic use as a [[Ct#Biller|biller]] in [[NATS]].
 
 
 
=== Cross Sales ===
 
 
 
'''Note: All of the LocalBilling settings described here will be listed as Vendo on [[NATS]] version 4.1.3 or later. If you cannot locate the LocalBilling settings here, try looking for the Vendo settings.'''
 
 
 
LocalBilling also supports [[Ct#Cross Sell|Cross Sale]] transactions through [[NATS]]. In order to process cross sale transactions, however, you will first have to set them up with LocalBilling. Please contact LocalBilling for assistance with this.
 
 
 
To set up cross sales in [[NATS]], go to the [[Upsells Admin]] and click incoming or outgoing cross sales from the navigation tabs (depending on whether you are sending or receiving the cross sale).
 
 
 
If you are sending a cross sale to another [[Ct#Site|site]], go to the "Outgoing Cross Sales" section. Add LocalBilling/Vendo from the Biller drop-down menu, and click Add New Option. On the next page, you will be prompted to fill in the Title, Description, and Disclaimer for your cross sell option.
 
 
 
You will then need to fill out the Biller Info for your cross sale, which should be provided to you by LocalBilling.  Fill in your Site ID, Option Identifier, and Ref Code here, and click Save Changes.
 
 
 
If you are receiving the cross sale, go to the "Incoming Cross Sales" section. Add LocalBilling or Vendo from the Biller drop-down menu and click Add New Option. When prompted, choose the [[Ct#Site|site]] and [[Ct#Program|program]] you want to associate with the cross sale.
 
 
 
Under "Details," fill in the title of your cross sale option, the initial membership fee and length, and the recurring membership fee and length. Finally, fill in your Site ID, Option Identifier, and Upgrade Identifier in the "Biller Info" section and click Save Changes.
 
 
 
== Notes ==
 
 
 
=== Targeting Billing Outside the U.S. and Canada ===
 
Go to Billers Admin, click the Add a Cascade tab, and enter a
 
[[ct#Shortname|shortname]]. In the description field, enter the text your
 
surfers will see on the [[ct#Pre-Join Form|pre-join form]]; for example:
 
"Foreign Billing provided by Local Billing."  Set the Weight field to
 
256.  In the Excluded list, select United States and Canada.  Click Save
 
Changes.
 
 
 
Find the cascade you just created and click the Expand Cascade icon.
 
Click the Biller drop-down, select Localbilling, and click Add.  Make
 
sure Localbilling is the first biller in the cascade.
 
 
 
=== UpgradePlus ===
 
 
 
LocalBilling [[NATS4 Upgrade Plus|UpgradePlus]] lets you shorten a [[Ct#Member|Member]]'s [[Ct#Trial Sign-up|trial]] by offering them incentives to upgrade in your Member's Area.
 
 
 
When processing [[NATS4 Upgrade Plus|UpgradePlus]] transactions through LocalBilling, you must use the following URL for your [[Ct#Member|member]] transactions.
 
 
 
Version 4.1.2 or earlier:
 
<pre>
 
https://payment.localbilling.com/payment/upgrade.php
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Version 4.1.3 or later:
 
<pre>
 
https://secure3.vend-o.com/upgrade.php
 
</pre>
